How to Remove & Throw Away Tree Stump from Your Yard
Whether you recently had a tree fall from a storm or purposely cut it during a landscaping project, you may have leftover tree stumps in your yard that need to be removed. Tree stumps take up valuable space and can also be a tripping hazard and attract pests. Fortunately, they can be easy to get rid of if you have the right supplies and follow the proper steps. Depending on the tools you have available, there are several methods you can use. After it has been uprooted, it is important to properly dispose of the stump, such as renting a dumpster. In this blog, we will discuss the different ways you can remove and throw away an unwanted tree stump for your yard and how Daniel J. Clifford & Son can help with our professional dumpster rental services.
Use a Chainsaw and Tree Stump Grinder
One of the most popular ways to remove a tree stump is by using a chainsaw to break it down. It’s important to note that only those with experience should attempt this method, as using a chainsaw can be dangerous. Make sure to wear the proper safety gear as well. Alternatively, you could use a stump grinder, which you can typically rent from a home improvement store.
Manual Removal
For smaller stumps, you can dig around the stump manually with a shovel to expose the roots. Once the roots are visible, you can cut them with an ax. Then, rock the stump back and forth to loosen it before pulling it out. This process is not recommended for larger stumps.
Chemical Removal
Another method is to use a chemical stump remover to help decompose the stump. First, drill small holes into the stump and pour the chemical into them, keeping the holes deep enough to absorb the solution. During this time, keep the area moist to enhance the decomposition process. Once the stump is soft, you can break it apart with a shovel or pry it out using a lever. It may take a few weeks for the stump to soften enough for removal, so be patient.
Disposing Of the Tree Stump
Once the stump is removed, it’s time to dispose of it. One of your options is to chop it into pieces and dispose of it in a waste bin, which can be time-consuming. Alternatively, you can hire a junk removal company to do it for you, but hiring a professional can be expensive. One of the most affordable, efficient, and environmentally friendly options is to rent a dumpster. By using a dumpster, you can quickly dispose of the stump and any other debris that has accumulated during the removal process. At Daniel J. Clifford & Son, we can pick up your container as soon as it’s filled and empty it at a designated disposal site, ensuring that the stump and any other waste are properly disposed of.
